Buducnost VOLI Podgorica added another piece in the process a building a new roster for the upcoming season by signing shooting guard Fletcher Magee, the club announced on Tuesday. Magee (1.93 meters, 26 years old) is a prolific three-point shooter who arrives from a city rival SC Derby for which he averaged 13.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the ABA League last season. He was making 2.8 triples per game on 42.2% three-point shooting.
Magee once already signed with Buducnost, back in the summer of 2020, but he never played for the club, rather moved to SC Derby where he spent the past three seasons.
The new Buducnost perimeter threat started his professional career in the 2019-20 campaign in the Spanish League with Monbus Obradoiro, where he posted 11.3 points. Prior to that, Magee attended Wofford College where he was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year, and made 509 career three-pointers. That stood as a record until this summer when two players passed him. Magee has done it with an impressive 43.5% accuracy, by far the highest for a player with at least 400 three-point shots made in NCAA history.
Magee is now set to make his EuroCup debut, and is second SC Derby player to join the club this week, after Buducnost signed forward Andrija Slavkovic on Monday.
